Other Information[edit]
Lama Jabb was born and brought up in a nomadic community in Northeastern Tibet and received formal education in Tibet, India and the UK. In 2013 he completed his DPhil on Modern Tibetan Literature and the Inescapable Nation at the University of Oxford.
He is fascinated by the ways in which both the past and living traditions shape contemporary Tibet. He explores the intertextual nature of Tibetan literature by, among other things, examining the complex interplay between the Tibetan literary text and oral traditions. He also has a keen interest in the theory and practice of translation and produces his own original translations.
Currently he is studying the unexplored genre of Tibetan bird stories within its broader cultural framework focusing particularly on a volume called The Treasury of Intellect: Narrating the Worldly tale of the Winged Ones, that fuses Tibetan oral and literary arts.
